Muzzle Brakes / compensators / Flash Hiders......thoughts?

Anybody try a troy claymore or something similar? Im looking to direct all blast down range. My 7.5" 5.56 can be slightly disturbing to my fellow shooters the calymore is about $65

I had something similar to a claymore on my 7.5" AR. It worked ok, but I've heard that people have better luck with muzzle devices such as a Noveske KX3 or a Kineti-Tech brake/sound redirector like this: http://www.kineti-tech.com/create-a-2-piece-muzzle-brake-cucussion-sound-redirector/

The dragon dipped the muzzle on my 18" barrel when firing 5.56, but stayed perfectly flat shooting 223. Well worth it for controlled pairs.

I've got the precision armament m4-72 on my 16" AR. Haven't shot it yet but it won both shootout videos.
